Maya Hawke had a unique opportunity to follow in her mom’s footsteps with her first major film.
The chance to get to work with Tarantino made Hawke “excited,” especially when she stepped on set.
“I’ve never been on a set where every single person who was there was equally as excited to be there as the actors and the director and everyone were,” Hawke told PEOPLE at the film’s Los Angeles premiere on Monday. “He’s been working with the same people for so long and he’s executed such amazing work. Everyone has a tremendous amount of faith in him and in the projects and it gives an amazing collaborative feeling on set.”

Though Thurman believed the “circumstances of this event were negligent to the point of criminality,” the actress clarified later that she doesn’t believe there was malicious intent from Tarantino — pushing again that she forgives him.
“Quentin Tarantino, was deeply regretful and remains remorseful about this sorry event, and gave me the footage years later so I could expose it and let it see the light of day, regardless of it most likely being an event for which justice will never be possible,” Thurman wrote alongside a repost of the video on Instagram. “He also did so with full knowledge it could cause him personal harm, and I am proud of him for doing the right thing and for his courage.”

The 48-year-old actress later spoke toEntertainment Weeklyabout her relationship with Tarantino, revealing just three months after first opening up about their fallout that she still hopes to collaborate with him one day.
“I understand himand if he wrote a great part and we were both in the right place about it, that would be something else,” she said during an interview promoting her film,The Con Is On.
“We’ve had our fights over the years,” Thurman said. “When you know someone for as long as I’ve known him, 25 years of creative collaboration…yes, did we have some tragedies take place? Sure. But you can’t reduce that type of history and legacy. It would have been reduced to my car accident if I died.”
